Johnson & Johnson is recalling several Neutrogena spray-on sunscreens after "elevated levels of benzene" were detected in testing, Health Canada said in an advisory. Health Canada says the company is recalling "all lots" of its aerosol-format Neutrogena Beach Defense and Ultra Sheer children and adult sunscreen products "after testing conducted by the company detected elevated levels of benzene." Long-term and frequent exposure to elevated levels of benzene carries health risks, Health Canada says. Health Canada advises the public to stop all use of the recalled sunscreen products — a full list of which can be found here — and to consult a health professional if you have been using them and have specific concerns. Sunscreen users with questions about the recall can contact Johnson & Johnson, toll-free, at 1-800-458-1673.
